Intre timp am facut un nou quilt. Din tafta si brocart...Din pacate mi-a adus foarte multa tristete in suflet...din motive personale.Meanwhile I made a whole new quilt, from fancy materials.Unfortunately it brings a lot of sadness in my soul...personal reasons....partial Part of itQuiltingul vazut pe spateThe quilting work seen better on the back of it :

Today I received a really surprize package from Mariana Tugui.Thank you, Mariana !A lace of dream, a piece of fabric that soon will be a small quilt ;)), shining ribbons, sequins and assorted beads, threads...oh, how much thread !! I have enough to sew from now on ;))And a few lines with a calligraphy to covet for...

Today I received the first envelope from the swap November Surprise that is hold by my group Peticelul International .Thank you , Ela!! those buttons are so cute ;)) and from the rest I will certainly do something nice. I love the dark fabric...I'm already dreaming at something for it.

Because lately I'm working on some patchwork projects that cannot be revealed, I just can show you how -from a small cutting error- was born, after, a small table-mat with Christmas "flavour"... even it's only october...This was yesterday :

Si pentru ca surpriza s-a consumat in totalitate, acum va pot arata quiltul lucrat in septembrie, cadou pentru cei 20 ani ai fetei noastre cea mica :))Macii AlberteiFata :And because the surprise is already consumated, now I can show you the quilt I worked in september as a present for the 20 th anniversary of our "little girl": ))Alberta's PopiesThe top : Spatele si un detaliu :The back of it and a detail : Intre timp mi-am facut o multime de prietene noi pe forumul Lucru de minacare mi-au reaprins pasiunea de a croseta. Iata rezultatul cind in jurul tau ai atitea prietene :Meanwhile I made myself a lot of new friends on the Lucru de minaforum, friends that fired again in me the passion for crochet. Here is the result when someone is surrounded with friends :So...quite a busy month...

As outside is an extremely hot weather, I just hide myself in my favorite armchair and I sew... all the day. I have an old pillow cover from my grandmother, which is so old that even kept in my memories box, it began to ripe all over. I would like to keep over time this sweet memory some way and also to put my fingerprint on it..so, I choose to cut out the best part of it, make a sandwich of and began hand quilting... Isn't it a good ideea??Inca nu e gata... si va ramine doar ce se vede in poza, deci un bloc micut aprox. 15" x 15"... Din cauza tensionarii materialul sufera...ma gindesc sa adaug cumva la bordura dantela crosetata manual care facea parte din vechea fata de perna.... vom vedea rezultatul...It's not ready yet...it will remain what you see in the picture, just a small block,aprox: 15" x 15". Due to the tensioning, the fabric is really suffering. I'm thinking to add somehow in the border a part of the hand-made lace that belong to the old pillow cover...we'll se the result...
